Terror Strikes <span class="highlight">Missouri</span>, 9 dead, Including TerroristFri, 27 Feb 2015 14:57:20 -0500http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=318_1425066810
TheBadNewsTYRONE, Mo. o An urgent 911 call from a young girl who ran to a neighbor's home for help Thursday night led police to ultimately discover eight dead people across four crime scenes in a small community in south-central Missouri.
The lone suspect - a 36-year-old man from Tyrone - became the ninth to die when he shot himself in an apparent suicide, police say.
Texas County Coroner Tom Whittaker told the Post-Dispatch that all of the victims are adults.
There were three women and four men fatally shot, ranging in age from their early 40s to mid 60s. Authorities say several of the victims are related - including a husband and wife - but they haven't confirmed a connection with the gunman.
A woman who survived being shot told police she knew who the gunman was and gave police his name. As word spread of the killings, some additional victims were discovered when worried family members went to homes to check on their well-being, Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Kinder said in an interview. Police also went door-to-door to check for victims.
Authorities aren't releasing names of the victims until they notify relatives.
Before the suspect was found dead, police went to his mother's home to see if he was there, the coroner said. They found his mother dead on the couch of apparent natural causes, Whittaker said. It appears she had been dead at least 24 hours, he said. She was in her 70s and had been under a doctor's care for an illness, and there was no visible sign of trauma, so Whittaker believes she died of her illness.
The woman has the same surname as some of the victims, he said. Investigators suspect her death may have sparked the man's murder spree.
"We're speculating that he came home and found her deceased and then for whatever reason went on a rampage and started killing people," Whittaker said. "This is just so strange. Right now, with the shooter dead, we don't know. Is there something that sparked this? We're still in the information-gathering stage."
Whittaker, who has been coroner since 1997, said the county averages "maybe one" homicide a year. "We may go a year or two without any," he said.
Whittaker said he couldn't believe it when authorities kept finding bodies over about a 3- 1/2 hour period.
"At first I thought, 'I have three victims,' then we keep finding more victims," he said. "It's kind of like, 'Oh gosh, what have we got here?' It's spread over miles."
Sgt. Paul Reinsch of the Missouri Highway Patrol said the first victims were discovered Thursday night. The Texas County sheriff's office was called at 10:15 p.m. Thursday to a disturbance involving a weapon at a home on Highway H in Tyrone. A young girl inside the home heard gunshots and ran to a neighbor's house to call police.
Deputies went to the girl's home and found two people inside who had been shot to death. Police later went to three other homes in Tyrone and found five more people shot to death and one person injured. Whittaker said the injured person who was shot was taken to a hospital for treatment; the condition wasn't available. Police then went to the suspect's mother's home on Highway 137 and found the woman dead of apparent natural causes on the couch.
"The only reason she was found is that they had gone to her house to see if the shooter was there," Whittaker said.
The suspect was found dead in the neighboring county of Shannon County after apparently shooting himself inside a vehicle, police say. Police have not released his name. Shannon County Coroner Tim Denton said the man had shot himself in the head with a handgun. The man was slumped forward in his vehicle when police found it on a gravel road, off of Highway WW. That's about 25 miles from the crime scenes in Texas County.
Whittaker and Denton said autopsies will be performed by a pathologist in Springfield, Mo. The autopsies will start over the weekend and perhaps extend into next week, Whittaker said.
Tyrone is about 140 miles southwest of St. Louis, and about 50 miles south of Rolla. Police set up a mobile command post at Highways 137 and H.
Seven investigators with the Highway Patrol's division of drug and crime control are working on the case, along with the sheriff's office. Kinder, of the Highway Patrol, said at a morning press conference asked that anyone with information about the killing spree to call police at 417-967-4165 or 417-469-3121.
When a reporter asked Kinder about the number of victims, he took a moment to count aloud, keeping track on his fingers. "There are ... Isn't that terrible? Lose count," he said. "There is actually nine total victims here in this case, one of them being the shooter, the other one being the elderly woman, and then seven victims of gunshot wounds."
Kinder said investigators were processing six scenes total - five homes, including the home where the woman died of apparent natural causes, and the suspect's vehicle.
Kinder said, "In our job, we see a lot of bad stuff. And this is bad. This is also hard on the police officers. It's not natural to see that sort of thing."
The Houston Herald, a local newspaper in Texas County, reported that the staff at the school district in the town of Houston, Mo., nearby had been told to arrive early for counseling sessions.
Houston, the county seat of Texas County, has a population of about 2,000 residents. The town is about a 20-minute drive from the unincorporated area of Tyrone, where the killings took place.
Houston Mayor Don Tottingham said, "This is a terrible tragedy in a community that's real close-knit," he said. "This is a great town, and this is why it's such a tragedy because it shows you're vulnerable to things."
The mayor said he hopes the community pulls together and tries to figure out how this happened. He said he can't begin to understand what motivated this man to do what he did. The mayor doesn't know the gunman. However, the mayor used to be a letter carrier for many years, and the shooter's family was on his route.
"It's really a terrible shock," he said. "I think it brings you a little closer together. I think sometimes tragedies like this pull everyone together to try and to try to figure out how to prevent this from ever happening again."

Americans at risk through his advocacy for more rights for terrorists."

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/26/police-black-site-chicago-washington-politicians-human-rights
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The US Department of Justice and embattled mayor Rahm Emanuel are under mounting pressure to investigate allegations of what one politician called "CIA or Gestapo tactics" at a secretive Chicago police facility exposed by the Guardian.
Politicians and civil-rights groups across the US expressed shock upon hearing descriptions of off-the-books interrogation at Homan Square, the Chicago warehouse that multiple lawyers and one shackled-up protester likened to a US counter-terrorist black site in a Guardian investigation published this week .
As three more people came forward detailing their stories of being "held hostage" and "strapped" inside Homan Square without access to an attorney or an official public record of their detention by Chicago police, officials and activists said the allegations merited further inquiry and risked aggravating wounds over community policing and race that have reached as high as the White House.
Caught in the swirl of questions around the complex - still active on Wednesday - was Emanuel, the former chief of staff to Barack Obama who is suddenly facing a mayoral runoff election after failing to win a majority in a contest that has seen debate over police tactics take a central role.
Emanuel's office refused multiple requests for comment from the Guardian on Wednesday, referring a reporter to an unspecific denial from the Chicago police.
But Luis Guti'errez, the influential Illinois congressman whose shifting support for Emanuel was expected to secure Tuesday's election, joined a chorus of colleagues in asking for more information about Homan Square.
"I had not heard about the story until I read about it in the Guardian," Guti'errez said late Wednesday. "I want to get more information, but if the allegations are true, it sounds outrageous."
Congressman Danny Davis, a Democrat who represents the Chicago west-side neighbourhood where Homan Square is located, said he was "terribly saddened" to hear of the allegations. Davis said he "would certainly strongly support an investigation" by the US Department of Justice, as two former senior justice department civil-rights officials urged the department on Wednesday to launch .
Earlier in the day, as a county commissioner urged the top law-enforcement investigators in the country to do the same, another reporter and photographer waited to accompany him on a visit outside the premises of Homan Square.
A man, in a jumpsuit and a ski mask, pulled out of the Homan Square parking lot in an SUV and made multiple circles before coming to a stop.
"You can take a picture," said the man, who then offered what he considered a joke: "We are all CIA, right?"
'Not in America'Outside the red-brick Homan Square compound on Wednesday, a young mother ushered her two children to the sidewalk on West Fillmore Avenue. "I am at the police station," she yelled into her phone, over traffic noise. "Can I call you back?"
The woman held her children close, shivering against the wind as plain-clothes officers and pedestrians scurried across the busy four-way intersection.
Until this week, the Cook County commissioner Richard Boykin only knew of the warehouse next-door - like the mother - as a police facility in a struggling Chicago neighbourhood.
"I hadn't heard of the sort of CIA or Gestapo tactics that were mentioned in the Guardian article until it was brought to my attention," Boykin said in an interview outside Homan Square. "And we are calling for the Department of Justice to open an investigation into these allegations."
The Guardian reported on Tuesday that police in Chicago detain suspects at Homan Square without booking them, thereby preventing their relatives and lawyers from knowing their whereabouts, reminiscent in the eyes of some lawyers and civil-rights activists of a CIA black site.
While people are held at Homan Square, which lawyers described as a process that often lasted between 12 and 24 hours, several attorneys said they had been refused access to the facility, and described entrance to it as a rare occurrence. One man interviewed by the Guardian said that ahead of a Nato protest in 2012, he was handcuffed to a bar behind bench for 17 hours inside Homan Square and refused a phone call before police finally permitted him to see his attorney.
In an interview Wednesday, another Nato protester, Vic Suter, offered a similar account of close shackling and an estimated 18 hours without access to an attorney .
"You are just kind of held hostage," Suter told the Guardian. "The inability to see a lawyer is a drastic departure from what we consider our constitutional rights. Not being able to have that phone call, the lack of booking, makes it so that when you're there, you understand that no one knows where you are."
A third person, Kory Wright, came forward to the Intercept in a story published Thursday . He described spending six hours at Homan Square without being booked or having access to a lawyer, as well as being zip-tied to a bench "like a cross".
Wright's friend, Deandre Hutcherson, told the Intercept that he, too, was held at the facility, without either of the men being read their Miranda rights.
Boykin, the county commissioner, looked up at the warehouse and said that a potential US justice department investigation would be "an extension of reform - making sure people's basic rights are not violated but that they have opportunity to counsel".
"It's one thing to quell demonstration and protests," Boykin said, "but it's another thing to use antiquated Gestapo tactics that are more commonly found in parts of the underdeveloped world or in places like China or Russia."
"Not in America."
Obama's task force on improving police relations in the wake of the shooting of the unarmed teenager Michael Brown six months ago in Ferguson, Missouri, was expected to release its first set of recommendations on community policing as soon as Monday. The third anniversary of the killing of unarmed teenager teenager Trayvon Martin is Thursday, two days after a Department of Justice civil-rights investigation brought no charges against George Zimmerman , the neighbourhood watchman who shot him dead.
'I thought we were making progress'Scott Waguespack, the alderman of Chicago's 32nd ward, said he, too, was unaware of potential abuses at the Homan Square warehouse until he read the Guardian's investigation this week . During the 2012 Nato summit, he said, Chicago police officials told local politicians that arrestees would end up bussed to the department's Belmont district precinct on the city's West Side, and not Homan. "That's where we assumed they went," he told a third Guardian reporter.
Waguespack claimed meaningful police reform has stalled under Emanuel, citing the mayor's failure to pass a city ordinance designed to enforce more oversight to the controversial police oversight board, as well as inconsistencies in crime statistics.
The alderman said the "best thing" that the "next mayor" of Chicago could do about the Homan Square allegations was bring in federal investigators: "Then the civil rights division of the justice department can say: 'Here's how we scrutinized it'."
The Guardian sent a list of detailed questions about Homan Square to Emanuel's office on Wednesday. A spokesman for the mayor referred a fourth reporter to a Chicago police department statement issued to multiple media outlets on Tuesday, and declined to return multiple calls seeking clarification.
"If lawyers have a client detained at Homan Square, just like any other facility, they are allowed to speak to and visit them," the statement reads, without elaborating on when those meetings take place. "There are always records of anyone who is arrested by CPD, and this is not any different at Homan Square," the statement continues, without addressing specifics as to how or when those records are logged.
Amnesty International USA has called for the mayor to open his own "independent and impartial investigation" into the Homan Square facility, with the human-rights group requesting "unrestricted access" to the site.
In a letter to Emanuel, Amnesty USA's executive director Steven Hawkins wrote: "As the mayor of Chicago, you have a responsibility under US and international law to ensure that human rights violations are not committed within the city."
The group lobbied Emanuel during the mayoral campaign to commit to a program of reparations for victims of abuse between 1972 and 1991 at the hands Jon Burge, the notorious former Chicago police commander who was released from home custody this month .
Emanuel has not made a financial commitment to reparations but has promised a route to "closure" for the surviving victims .
"It is his responsibility as the mayor of Chicago, as a public figure to make sure that his city is complying with international law," Amnesty USA's senior campaigner, Jasmine Heiss, told the Guardian. "Because without a clear commitment to addressing things like police torture, it gives torturers the go ahead to continue to undermine the rule of law and ignore international guidelines."
A representative for the Chicago branch of the American Civil Liberties Union said the group was gathering facts about Homan Square as well.
Jes'us "Chuy" Garcia, the county commissioner challenging Emanuel in an April runoff vote that local political watchers warned could become a national "free-for-all" , did not respond to multiple requests for comment after a separate Guardian interview on Monday. But his colleague, Boykin, said the mayor had an obligation to find more answers. "Fifty-plus percent of the people voted against the mayor yesterday," Boykin said outside Homan Square. "I think the mayor has a problem."
Davis, the US congressman whose west-side offices were located near Homan Square for 15 years, said the activities alleged at Homan Square potentially "undermined and torn up" efforts to promote police as "positive role models".
"One of the things that for many years some of us, people like myself, have been working on to try and help foster a different sense of what law enforcement ought to be among people and especially young people as they are growing up," Davis said.
Karl Brinson, president of the Chicago Westside Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the NAACP was attempting "to find out what's going on" at Homan Square.
"We knew the facility was there, but we didn't know what all it encompassed exactly and what was taking place there," he told the Guardian. "You're never going to build trust with anybody or get any kind of community relationships going on while doing this."
The justice department declined to comment to the Guardian on Wednesday.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1f7_1424983210KatBusa3274'Gestapo' tactics at US police 'black site' ring alarm from Chicago to WashingtonUSA police state, tyrany, USA, police stateChicago police are running a horrifying CIA-style black site out of a warehouseWed, 25 Feb 2015 18:15:43 -0500http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8fa_1424905104

The worst policies from the war on terror are now in our backyard (As if they weren't here before)..Brought to you by Obama and Rahm Emanuel windy city.. A remarkable report from Spencer Ackerman at The Guardian has revealed in detail the existence of an interrogation facility used by Chicago police to detain and hold people in secret. The report describes how police have used a "nondescript warehouse" to keep detainees out of booking databases, beat prisoners, shackle them for "prolonged periods," and keep them from legal counsel for up to 24 hours - including even children as young as 15.
If that sounds familiar, it's because the US has used similar facilities around the world since 9/11 in its prosecution of the "war on terror." CIA " black sites " around the world have been used to secretly detain, interrogate, and torture alleged enemies of state. Use of these sites for "extraordinary rendition" is one of the darkest aspects of the US war on terror, and has been the target of criticism from a broad spectrum of observers.
Unlike the CIA's black sites, The Guardian reports that the Chicago facility targets people who aren't suspected of terror-related activities; the site is reportedly shared by anti-gang and anti-drug police units.
In one instance, The Guardian reports, 12 people who were protesting a Nato summit in 2012 were taken to the warehouse. One man, Jacob Church, says he was cuffed to a bench for around 17 hours and interrogated without receiving Miranda rights. "Essentially, I wasn't allowed to make contact with anybody," Church told The Guardian. "I had essentially figured, 'all right, well, they disappeared us and so we're probably never going to see the light of day again.'" An attorney who eventually gained access to the facility reportedly had to talk to Church through a "floor-to-ceiling chain-link metal cage." But most attorneys, The Guardian notes, have been completely turned away from the site.
One detainee, John Hubbard, died in the facility, The Guardian reports. At the time, TheChicago Tribune unceremoniously reported the event under the headline "man in custody found unresponsive, dies."
The Guardian's report lands in the wake of a national conversation that began last year about police militarization in the US. Last August, the world witnessed a shocking display of force against residents of Ferguson, Missouri, who assembled to protest the killing of an unarmed teenager. Police in military battle dress rolled armored vehicles with sonic weapons down suburban streets, pointed sniper rifles at peaceful protesters, assaulted and harassed journalists, and unilaterally heightened tensions for dubious reasons. Police militarization and brutality have, of course, been an issue before Ferguson - just ask the participants of Occupy Wall Street.
As The Guardian's report demonstrates, it's not just weapons from the war on terror that are flowing to police departments across the country: it's tactics and attitudes, too. "I've never known of any kind of organized, secret place where they go and just hold somebody before booking for hours and hours and hours," retired DC homicide detective James Trainum told The Guardian . "That scares the hell out of me that that even exists or might exist."

MagicSonnyThis is a year-by-year timeline of America's wars, which reveals something quite interesting: since the United States was founded in 1776, she has been at war during 214 out of her 235 calendar years of existence. In other words, there were only 21 calendar years in which the U.S. did not wage any wars.
- Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year.
- No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered "war presidents."
- The U.S. has never gone a decade without war.
- The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.

A remarkable report from Spencer Ackerman at The Guardian has revealed in detail the existence of an interrogation facility used by Chicago police to detain and hold people in secret. The report describes how police have used a "nondescript warehouse" to keep detainees out of booking databases, beat prisoners, shackle them for "prolonged periods," and keep them from legal counsel for up to 24 hours - including children as young as 15.
If that sounds familiar, it's because the US has used similar facilities around the world since 9/11 in its prosecution of the "war on terror." CIA " black sites " around the world have been used to secretly detain, interrogate, and torture alleged enemies of state. Use of these sites for "extraordinary
rendition" is one of the darkest aspects of the US war on terror, and has been the target of criticism from a broad spectrum of observers.
"America has entered a period of constitutional horror".
Unlike the CIA's black sites, The Guardian reports that the Chicago facility targets people who aren't suspected of terror-related activities; the site is reportedly shared by anti-gang and anti-drug
police units.
In one instance, The Guardian reports, 12 people who were protesting a Nato summit in 2012 were taken to the warehouse. One man, Jacob Church, says he was cuffed to a bench for around 17 hours and interrogated without receiving Miranda rights. "Essentially, I wasn't allowed to make contact with anybody," Church told The Guardian . "I had essentially figured, 'all right, well, they disappeared us and so we're probably never going to see the light of day again.'" An attorney
who eventually gained access to the facility reportedly had to talk to Church through a "floor-to-ceiling chain-link metal cage." But most attorneys, The Guardian notes, have been completely turned away from the site.
One detainee, John Hubbard, died in the facility, The Guardian reports. At the time, The Chicago Tribune unceremoniously reported the event under the headline "man in custody found unresponsive, dies."
"That scares the hell out of me."
The Guardian 's report lands in the wake of a national conversation that began last year about police militarization in the US. Last August, the world witnessed a shocking display of force against residents of Ferguson, Missouri, who assembled to protest the killing of an unarmed teenager. Police in military battle dress rolled armored vehicles with sonic weapons down suburban streets, pointed sniper rifles at peaceful protesters, assaulted and harassed journalists, and unilaterally heightened tensions for dubious reasons.
Police militarization and brutality have, of course, been an issue before Ferguson - just ask the participants of Occupy Wall Street. As The Guardian's report demonstrates, it's not just weapons
from the war on terror that are flowing to police departments across the country: it's tactics and attitudes, too. "I've never known of any kind of organized, secret place where they go and just hold somebody before booking for hours and hours and hours," retired DC homicide detective James Trainum told The Guardian . "That scares the hell out of me that that even exists or might exist."
